As business owner, I need to manage/analyse data. However, the reports can be exported only to pdf version which is not great. Users should be able to export every single reports to Excel.

If MYOB Essentials can accrue for Annual and Personal Leave, why can it not accrue for Long Service Leave? Long term casuals and permanent part time employees are entitled to long service leave these days. It is not unusual for a company with just one employee to have that worker with them for 10 years and be entitled to long service leave. As LSL rules differ from state to state, could you not have a drop down to choose the particular state and the appropriate % for pay period accruals. You can do this in more expensive versions of MYOB.

The General Ledger report within MYOB Essentials (and all other MYOB software packages) should have a Gross column. This is especially frustrating for clients who have recently moved from BankLink and are accustomed to this feature in their reports. I know that this will have been suggested many times by customers. Other software providers such as Reckon and Xero integrate this feature, so this is something that MYOB should be on board with.

For some reason you can't copy old journals (copy function available in QBO), or have re-occuring journals like you do in the old MYOB. For some reason MYOB have decided accountants don't use Essentials and therefore the journal area is ok to be terrible. There excuse is 'well you should upgrade to the other MYOB', answer being you can't, because once you sign up to essentials, you can't get your data back out again (you can export transaciton by transaction but good luck getting it back into another software). So if you could please upgrade the journal area it would be highly appreciated.

When entering a long general journal it is very time consuming to have to click each column to enter data:
First click to enter [type account] and click again to enter [type description] and click again to enter [type credit or debit amount] AND click again to start a new line.
My suggestion is to create keyboard shortcuts such as "TAB" or "ENTER" and/or use of the "ARROW KEYS" in the general journal so you can enter data quickly and maneuver between columns and rows. As you already need to type the account, description and amount.

Employer Additional Superannuation that is REPORTABLE (RESC), please add this function when creating a pay event. With STP now becoming compulsary how about Essentials makes sure its payroll has all of the usual functions available in all its software so small businesses can use Essentials and not have to upgrade to the more expensive AccountRight.

On the screen that lists all of the invoices, while you can currently sort the columns, it would be great if you had the option to filter the invoices for a certain period of time (eg just list all invoices issued in a particular month, quarter or financial year). For clients that have a large number of invoices, it can get really tedious when looking for invoices, having to scroll through pages & pages of invoices.

I would like to be able to deligate to a staff member by giving access to Essentials for Payroll purposes only before STP starts. It would also be useful if other permissions were allowed such as allocating transactions or recording petty cash journals without the staff member seeing or exporting what is in my bank account or review financial reports. This is already an issue for the Accountant/bookkeeper as they cannot use the software as a complete record of the business activies without the staff having access to the financial records. Could you please provide a solution as soon as possible.

MYOB Essentials MUST be updated so that all reports can be exported to excel. It is just ridiculous that they don't! Also the description field on the bank feed processing area should show on a report. Or if you can only use the "note" to shown on a report, move it so we don't have to have click on other areas!!!

You used to be able to tab through the fields in the Spend Money page (Allocate to, Description, Amount etc) and then type in data without having to click each field in order to enter said data. That no longer works. Each field must be clicked to enter data, which is so time consuming and ultra cumbersome. The same thing happens in the Journal entry page. It used to work though. Please fix. The Bills page, however allows data entry in the Item, Descriptiion etc fields without having to click.

There needs to be an option in invoice settings whereby the first line can be text only without having to allocate an account, tax type or amount. Currently I have to allocate an account, tax type and zero $value to a text only line. For example I wish to give details of the job completed and then in subsequent lines record the hours worked and materials used. An option similar to Account Right whereby you can insert a Header line without a $value.

Is it possbile to have a Remittance Advice to send to my suppliers to advise of a payment made. or a Print/Email options on Pay Bill Scrren Currently when I print an expense (that has already been entered with a payment) to a supplier it produces a 'Purchase Order' document showing the expense, and the payment made. However it would be more suitable for the document to be a 'Remittance Advice' and also have details on the document showing the bank information of the supplier in which the payment has been made to.

The Spend Money function in MYOB Essentials should have a Quantity field. This would be especially useful for entering UPCs where a client has purchased cattle or fuel, where it is necessary to enter the number of head/litres purchased.

While creating rules it never asks which type of transaction needs to be auto coded. For e.g. if I create rule with description "abc company", it codes all debit & credit entries with description "abc company" as per rule set. Where as in most of the cases even with same description debit & credit entries have different codes.

Our customers pay by direct deposit so we have our bank details in the notes to customers box at the bottom of the invoice. We have had quite a few customers comment on how small and difficult it is to read so we have had to make business cards up with the bank deposit details on them. Is there a way to make the font larger as an option? I realise not everyone needs larger font but it would be really helpful to have the choice in the setup.
